He's not to happy. Says he doesn't really remember all that went on w/Angeoplasty and certainly not being told this.
Cardi. came in said that his arteries were almost 60% percent clogged on one side. He (dr.) still doesn't understand why/what the other cardiologist thinking is/was. Was he waiting for all arteries to be clogged, more clogged????? He's really at a loss.
Aggie says he can breath better and by all accounts color is back in his face. I've never seen his cheeks so pink...he'd kill me if he heard me say that...lol.
Family is here....mine. My mom called Aggie's parents-to let them know what was going on. Talked w/mil. Said it didn't seem to really matter to her. That's why I didn't want to call myself.
I'm happy that Aggie has at least my family to fall back on. We're only a few people-mostly women except for Scooby and 1 cousin but we're here for him for the haul.
Momma doesn't really remember most of this part of what's going on.....She had/has to rely on Scooby/I to tell her about it. For the most part she's wonderful support for Aggie and can tell him what to expect.
We've walked the halls (slowly) a couple of times to pump the blood to the heart. Tubes are everywhere you look....Aggie can't stand it. It's "irritating, annoying, tacky".....that's putting it nicely.
Can't stand the tights on his legs (to help w/ phlebitis). Keeps asking me why women would/do wear such a thing....they're a PAIN.
If he keeps this up he'll be moved out of ICU tonight/in am. Should be able to go home Monday.
LOATHES soup w/a passion even at home sick....so, it's a really nice "diet" for him for the next couple of days. I'm hearing it now....I want a hamburger, cereal, ice cream, milkshake....goes on and on.
This is kind of "gross" but I looked at his scar....it's really nicely done. My mom's didn't look half as good as his and it's left a terrible scar. I think his will heal nicely. Now, he's upset that he has few chest hairs to cover it up.....we all think that's funny.
Aggie's hanging in there for the most part. He's in pain and I can see it in his eyes. Even though he wants to play "tough guy" and pretend like nothing's happened.
Scooby did bring Aggie up a tape of Aggie songs/orchestra tunes...been playing them all day long. Aggie loves the Aggie Fight Song....hence this is why I call him Aggie. He calls me orange around the edges. Went to rival colleges here in Texas.
Sorry for all the post. I wanted to let everyone know what's happened....we're alright for the most part. It's a waiting game on his recovery. Some bounce back w/full force and others don't....as in my mother's case. I'm sure Aggie will bounce back w/no problem and be back to "his normal" in a few weeks.

We're gonna beat you all to Chigaroogarem

The Spirit Of Aggieland
Some may boast of prowess bold
Of the school they think so grand
But there is a Spirit can ne'er be told
It's the Spirit of Aggieland
We are the Aggies - the Aggies are we
True to each other as Aggies can be
We've got to fight boys, we've got to fight
We've got to fight for Maroon and White
After they've boosted all the rest
Then they will come and join the best
For we are the Aggies, the Aggies so [true]
We are from Texas A.M.[U.]
This is funny....Aggie is origionally from Michigan. Has truly made Texas his home. Even if he still makes light of "Texas" sayings/some foods. He's still a southerner at heart.
I love A.R.F. Hang in there sweetie pie, sugarplum (some of your favorite funny words)...I'm here 100% and so is my family for anything.
Hope everyone is doing well today. Make it the best you can.
Take care,
Melanie
